INDUSTRIAL AND AUTOMATION TRACK Ethernet Networking 201: Implementing Ethernet Infrastructure and Adding 802.11 Wireless Access Points Explore the key technology components of Ethernet networks including managed and unmanaged industrial Ethernet switches and find out how to expand an Ethernet network using industrial 802.11 wireless access points (WAPs). Robert Jackson, Product Manager, National Instruments Hot Topic Integrating SCADA, Controls, and Monitoring in One Solution Based on CompactRIO Using the CompactRIO platform, one company has designed a strategy that combines control, monitoring, and data acquisition for use in the natural gas gathering and pipeline services industries. CompactRIO allows these elements to run on one system versus multiple systems typically found in the oil and gas field. Brad Loyd, Senior Systems Engineer, Enginuity Thursday, August 7 10:30–11:30 a.m. Room 14 Tuesday, August 5 How to Make an Embedded Data Logger Using CompactRIO or Compact FieldPoint View a presentation on a reference architecture for implementing a data-logging solution, and discuss optimizations and performance improvement options. Ryan King, Systems Engineer, National Instruments 4:45 – 5:45 p.m. Room 16A Introduction to Green Engineering Learn about the green engineering and sustainable design practices that National Instruments is developing and deploying. Topics include conserving energy with advanced, high-speed control; identifying inefficiencies by adding measurements; increasing uptime by monitoring machine health; and reducing scrap by inspecting products early. Joel Shapiro, Industrial Measurement and Control Group Manager, National Instruments Wednesday, August 6 10:30 –11:30 a.m. Room 16A How to Make Your PAC Application Redundant Using an NI Reference Design Redundancy is a common approach for higher system reliability and availability for any application, especially in critical control applications. Learn about redundancy and NI redundant reference designs. Discuss details on two reference designs, one for simple hot standby and another with more detailed system monitoring. Clay Barbee, Staff System Engineer, Nick Wilson, Staff System Engineer, Byron Radle, Senior Test Strategist, and David Harding, Systems Engineer, National Instruments Wednesday, August 6 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. Room 14 Introduction to New LabVIEW Real-Time Control Features for CompactRIO See the new features of LabVIEW Real-Time for programming a CompactRIO system. Learn how to easily program I/O, synchronize tasks to the I/O scan, and monitor a deployed system. Gerardo Garcia, Group Manager for Industrial Software, National Instruments Thursday, August 7 10:30 –11:30 a.m. Room 16A Tuesday, August 5 Wednesday, August 6 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. Room 14 Room 14 Improving Assembly Line Quality Inspection with CompactRIO Quality inspection is necessary after assembling connector components. Although assembly failures are rare, it is advantageous if they are detected in real time. By monitoring the connector snap-fit load during assembly with a CompactRIO system, you can update SPC data continually while suspect connectors automatically are segregated into reject bins. Howard Schwartz, Engineer, Corning Cable Systems New LabVIEW Features for Adding HMIs to Your System Discover the new features and architecture updates in LabVIEW and the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module to help you develop and deploy HMIs for industrial and automated test applications. Learn about new hardware and software features. Robert Jackson, Product Manager, National Instruments Wednesday, August 6 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. Room 14 Tuesday, August 5 10:30 –11:30 a.m. Room 16A 32
